Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This searching interpretation of past and present addresses fundamental questions about the fall of the Roman Empire. Why did ancient culture, once so strong and rich, come to an end Was it destroyed by weaknesses inherent in its nature Or were mistakes made that could have been avoided¿was t…here a point at which Greco-Roman society took a wrong turn And in what ways is modern society different Western history is split into two discontinuous eras, Aldo Schiavone tells us: the ancient world was fundamentally different from the modern one. He locates the essential difference in a series of economic factors: a slave-based economy, relative lack of mechanization and technology, the dominance of agriculture over urban industry.
